I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1042: Chapter 571: Patrolling the Six Nations Chapter 1042: Chapter 571: Patrolling the Six Nations After Nu Jiang left, Chen Mobai stayed in Yun Country for another three days.

He primarily spent his time at the Liu family residence, as he was the master of their eldest disciple and felt it was necessary to offer them some support.

Besides that, he was there because Liu Jingxian was planning to upgrade the family’s industry and cultivate Rank-2 spirit rice, intending to fill up the spirit pool that reared their Azure Blood Carps.

The knowledge required for such an endeavor far exceeded what a cultivator family could possess.

This involved a variety of areas, not only requiring a Spirit Plant Master but also an Earth Master and even an Array Master and so on.

As Chen Mobai happened to be free, he came over to help Liu Jingxian take a look.

“This spirit pool is situated directly beneath the spirit vein of your Liu family. It is the hub that harbors and circulates spiritual energy. If you fill it up, your family’s Rank-3 spirit vein will deteriorate. You mustn’t proceed with such actions.”

Chen Mobai input the map of the Liu family’s spirit veins into the core chip of the Formless Puppet, added the nearby mountains and water veins as well, and soon deduced a three-dimensional topographical map.

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Liu Jingxian was greatly alarmed. His main reason for wanting to fill up the spirit pool was that breeding Azure Blood Carps wasn’t very profitable. After all, Qi Practitioners could hardly afford it, and while the noble cultivators of great families and sects could afford them, given the choice and the spirit stones, most would rather purchase elixirs or spirit rice that could enhance their cultivation level.

Most of the Azure Blood Carps bred by his family were purchased by the Sky Meal Building. Since it was their only big client, the price never really went up.

Spirit rice, on the other hand, was different. With Chen Mobai’s guidance, the content about Foundation Establishment that he had disseminated in Divine Wood City had been spread by sect disciples to much of the Eastern Wilderness.

From the major sects down to Loose Cultivators and even common folk, nearly everyone was aware of the long-term benefits of consuming spirit rice.

As a result, even the nobles among the commoners were trying to find ways to acquire spirit rice, hoping not only to improve their own constitutions but to increase the chances that their descendants or even their descendants’ descendants might be born with spiritual roots.

Loose Cultivators, when they could afford it, no longer spent all their spirit stones on elixirs but chose to purchase various types of spirit rice that matched their cultivation techniques and body constitution.

In light of these changes, the Rank-2 superior spirit rice the Liu family obtained from the Divine Wood Sect had been reserved by many cultivators in Yun Country right from the planting stage.

Moreover, as their skill in cultivating spirit rice grew and more spirit fields were developed, the prices, paradoxically, continued to rise.

After consuming spirit rice for a year, many cultivators indeed broke through the shackles that had hindered them for years by improving their physical constitution.

With more and more success stories, the price of spirit rice naturally soared.

In light of this, Liu Jingxian became restless and planned to fill up the family’s Rank-2 high-grade spirit pool to make way for spirit fields to cultivate Rank-2 spirit rice.

However, after examining the situation, Chen Mobai advised against it.

“Thank you, Sect Master Chen, for your guidance. Otherwise, I would have made a grave mistake.”

What a Golden Core Cultivator says certainly couldn’t be wrong. Liu Jingxian might have been eager to earn spirit stones, but not at the cost of destroying the ancestral Rank-3 spirit vein of his family.

“The Rank-2 Azure Blood Carps cultivated in this spirit pool, if the prices from the Sky Meal Building really are too low in the future, just send them to the Divine Wood Sect. I will buy them for 300 spirit stones each.”

Chen Mobai offered to purchase them, bearing in mind that the Azure Blood Carps could improve his Water Spirit Root by one point.

“If Sect Master Chen needs them, I’ll have Wen Bo deliver any excess Rank-2 carps to you in the future.”

Liu Jingxian wouldn’t dare accept Chen Mobai’s spirit stones. His family typically tried to sell off the non-female Rank-2 carps, as the limited spiritual energy in the pool meant that one Rank-2 carcass would take up the living space of several dozen Rank-1 carps.

And Rank-1 Azure Blood Carps were much easier to sell than Rank-2 carps.

“After all, this spirit pool breeding is limited in scale. In the future, your Liu family could consider breeding in the Yun Meng Ze area. It so happens that you have gotten to know Elder Brother Nu Jiang, and I will also arrange for the Divine Wood Sect’s Foundation Establishment Practitioners in Yun Meng Ze to protect and assist you.”

Chen Mobai proposed another plan, but Liu Jingxian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Sect Master Chen, several cultivator families from Yun Country once had this idea and jointly fenced off an area in Yun Meng Ze, setting up array prohibitions. However, when the tide of beasts came, we suffered a total loss, so afterwards we all gave up on the idea.”

During that year of the beast tide, Chen Mobai had been in Yun Meng Ze, where even the Divine Wood Sect failed to protect its own Fang Market, let alone cultivator families like the Liu family.

“It seems that we will have to find a way to thoroughly cleanse Yun Meng Ze.”

After listening to Liu Jingxian’s difficulties, Chen Mobai expressed his understanding; after all, this was not an Immortal Gate, and there were countless wild and powerful demonic beasts.

Even the strongest formations couldn’t withstand a horde of beasts led by Rank-2 demonic beasts.

“These areas can be opened up to form a large contiguous spirit field; if the spirit veins underneath are dispersed, we can add a dozen or so mu of Rank-2 spirit fields…”

Chen Mobai and Liu Jingxian returned to their initial topic. With the Formless Puppet’s global three-dimensional deduction and planning capabilities, it was easy for Chen Mobai to draft the most appropriate spirit field industry upgrade path for the Liu family.

Before leaving, Chen Mobai made a special request to Dong Xuanze, the Town Guard of Yun Country, to take special care of the Liu family, to prevent others who coveted the profit the Liu family was making from spirit rice from envying them and becoming rogue cultivators who would come knocking on their door.
